Aryaka Networks: Thinking beyond the box

Achieving the elusive "work-life balance" is an ongoing challenge for many professionals. Even as things advance, balancing family and professional life is no easy feat. As it turns out, many of the big organizations are aware of this issue. Aryaka Networks is one such company which defines work-life balance differently. Since their inception in 2008, Aryaka has been the world’s first cloud-based WAN optimization company solving application and network performance issues faced by the distributed enterprise.

Aryaka eliminates the need for expensive and complex appliances as well as long-haul connectivity, and enhances collaboration across locations. With offices in the U.S. and India, Aryaka provides an office atmosphere which is like a small workplace where employees enjoy working and interacting. The company aims to develop and maintain a sound relationship with its employees. They provide certain benefits to its employees, which are at par with the market standards and also have non cash benefits for employees over and above their CTC which include transport, food facility, broadband reimbursement, group medical claim, GPA and several others.

Employees who are confident of working from home when they move to a different city/ town due to personal issues have been given work from home option. They are even flexible with respect to timing when it comes to women to join the office post maternity leave.

Keeping employee satisfaction in mind, the company has also organized several training and orientation programs when employees join and are sent to Milpitas office or their points of presence to soak in more knowledge about their service offerings. The employees have the best to work on, thus knowledge gain in terms of technology is of a much superior level.

Maintaining healthy employee relations in an organization is a pre-requisite for organizational success. Strong employee relations are required for high productivity and human satisfaction. Employee relations generally deal with avoiding and resolving issues concerning individuals which might arise out of or influence the work scenario. Aryaka Networks endows its employees with fair chances of giving feedback to the management. They provide a platform for one-to-one discussions on performances, their grievances and concerns.
